GENERAL NEWS NOTES.
Death Of the Venerable bishop Potter.

Horatio Potter, for thirty-two wears
bishop Of the Protestant Episcopal diocese
of New York, died at his home in New
York, Sunday morning the I'd inst. Al
though the bishop had been i'll for several
years and had been unable to leave his
house for a fortnight, his death was some
what unexpected even to his closest friends
and relatives. Four years ago he was at
tackled with pneumonia, and for d time his
life was despaired of. He recovered, how
ever, but his hitherto strong constitution
had been seriously affected, and he
was relieved of the greatest share of
the work of the diocese by the cleo
ton of Rev. DR.. Henry G. Potter to assist
him. On Friday the malady, which had
been gradually sapping his system, reap
peared. Late on Saturday night he became
unconscious and remained so until Sunday
morning, when his heart beat for the last
time.
In 1854 he vas elected provisional Dish.
op OF New York. Bishop Onderdonk, to
whom he was coadiutor,. died in 1861,
and DR.. Potter succeeded to the full iuris-
diction. BY a curious coincidence his
brother, the Rev. DR.. Alonzo Potter, bishop
of Pennsylvania, also succeeded Bishop
Onderdonk, a brother OF the bishop OF New
York. The most marked characteristic of
Boshop Potter's episcopate. one that
made itself strongly felt with his accession
to the office, was the attention and strong
encouragement given to charitable and
benevolent organization.

He continued to live In his cabin, sur

supported him. His wife died, and his
heartless children, one by one, deserted
him. After this he eontrived to make q
living by bottoming chairs.
Several months ago he became too
feeble to work. About that time @ young

Another Earth.

Mars Is almost universally accepted as
being kind OF duplicate earth.
1t Is endowed with land. water, clouds.
and air, and snow accommodating around
Its poles In their respective winter sea-
sons. The atmosphere Of tho planet Is,
however, obviously much more rare than
that OF the earth, 80 that it only exerts
at the planets surface O pressure of
about two pounds and o quarter to the
square inch.
The climate OF Mars Is conceived. from
the small amount OF snow that accumu-
lates at the poles OF the planet, to be
comparatively mild.
The water Is distributed into very
curious series OF long parallel canals
which run out from the ocean basins to
IN extent In some places OF three and
four thousand miles.
Two moons have been discovered since
1877, presenting diameter OF not moro
than six or seven miles, and one Of them

In England.
From 177S to 1857 the power Of colning
